How do you react to people who justify their shitty taste in music with "it's subjective"?
Idk, ask montie
>>61176024
Violently and with several illegal weapons
Their taste is subjectively shitty to you
>>61176024
Why do you care about what other people listen to
>>61176058
>>61176024
You sound like you need to learn how to make some friends
>>61176067
>sacrificing your morality and opinions for the sake of other people
>not asserting complete dominance over all other people in your general vicinity
Cry because I'm the one with the shitty taste
>>61176075
You can't actually be this neckbearded

>>61176082
No, I just associate with people who legitimately interest me
Why would I waste my time on anyone else?
Is this the soul music general?

Late entry for 'most beta post of the year 2k15'
once in class this fat fuck wearing a splitknot shirt came up to me. I had headphones on I was listening to CAN.
This greasy fuck sits right next to me, he has a wireless bluetooth speaker blasting out some screamo metal or some shit equally as bad.
He pulls my headphones off my head and says "What you listening to?"
I can fully hear the speaker now, wtf is this kiddo listening to? I reply with "Just some rock music, now can I have my headphones back?"
He stares at me for a second before screaming "DON'T YOU KNOW METAL IS THE BEST GENRE OF MUSIC IT'S PRACTICALLY CLASSICAL MUSIC" I put my headphones back on and are met we the sweet release of 1970s German Krautrock.
I then fucked his mom and killed his cat.

suicide
Not really say anything cause people think what you like is boring if it's not something they're aware of
>>61176063
I discuss with other people when I'm at uni or a party.
But if someone blocks every flaw you point out about something by "lol it's my taste, art is about taste, there is no bad art"
It's kinda annoying. There are people like these.
>>61176096
>not realizing that my viewpoint is the most alpha possible
>>61176114
>every flaw you point out
You sound like a blast at parties
>>61176063
this
there are literally billions of other things to talk about/make friends through
spending so much time listening to music does make it or you actually important or above anyone
>>61176122
I am fairly popular, yes. What makes you suggest otherwise? :^)
I treat music like a competition . My ultimate goal in life is this to shame everyone on /mu/ for having pleb taste. I won't rest til that happens. I pray for death.
There's this one comic strip about the guy who always explains why his food/table/taste in music is better than the other one's.
It sums up "subjectivity" pretty well, dunno if anyone got it saved.
>>61176024
1- Music IS subjective
2- It would be worse if the person was like alot of people that think taste is not subjective and you are wrong for not liking the shitty stuff they like, some also call you hipster this because most of this kind of people know only mainstream music
>>61176174

>X arrangement of frequencies is objectively superior to the arrangement of frequencies that is Y
>>61176122
How much longer are people going to keep saying this retarded fucking overused line? Borderline cringe senpai.
>>61176063
because if they listen to shitty music it reinforces the incentive for artists to make shitty music.
I have lost so much friends you have no idea.
you name it, friends, girls i liked, almost everyone because of IDM.
>>61176139
I listen to music for fun i like beach house, radiohead and arcade fire. Come at me bitch.
>>61176305
And you will change the music industry by being an elitist musique prick to every person you meet?
>>61176384
I'm assuming that's what he hopes to do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIhyZaA8yqo stumbled upon this a few minutes ago, seems kind of relevant here
>>61176114
Well, because strictly speaking they're not wrong. Objectively you can't point out why something is bad due to the very nature of the word bad. Of course in reality, it might be a way to avoid criticism, but more likely it's a way to get you to shut up
>>61176305
You're retarded enough to believe that the people you talk to genuinly care about your opinion on music? Are you really that socially retarded? I mean, I'm socially retarded but holy shit, that's a whole new level of social retardation
>>61176090
This is so sad.
>>61176120
Do you even lift?
This thread must be a gold mine for psychologists
>>61176228
> oh no, a person has a genuine point
> it's le reddit :DDD XXDDDD
>>61176325
really?
like stuff like autechre or like boards of canada?
>>61176305
It always blows my mind when people bring up this point. Like dude, look around you, you are literally the only generation in the history of the universe with free, universal, instantaneous access to virtually all creative content that exists or has ever existed. And yet you bitch and moan because some schmuck you probably don't even know doesn't like the music you consider superior. Get a fucking GRIP JESUS CHRIST YOU INCREDIBLE MANBABY.
>>61176305
don't listen to it then. the world will go on, it does not need your approval.
How do you react to people who justify their shitty taste in music with "it's objective"?
Music is both subjective and objective. Music you like depends on taste, but music can also be measured by other things. For example, someone really enjoys halsey, thats subjectively good. And for example, stairway to heaven is objectively good
>>61176024
My reaction is pretty subjective tbhfam
>>61176325
It's not the music, trust me
This thread is funny.
>>61176024
How do you react to people who justify their patrician taste in music with "The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art"?
>>61176996
> objectively good
Yet I'm sure you can't explain why.
>>61176996
You either don't really get what "objectively" means or what the word "good" implies.
>>61176122
stop this meme
make a spongebob thread about it
>>61176024
Well I don't, I have shit taste and I admit it, fuck you insecure niggers.
>>61177386
still tho, this >>61177088
You have to be really insecure if you define your self-worth by how "refined" (i.e. inaccessible and convoluted) your musical tastes are.
Also, most people don't want to start disliking something that they've decided they like. Nobody wants to have a conversation about why the things they like are actually terrible. That kind of negative thinking is a complete waste of time, generally.
>>61176099
2/10 runescape tier shit
>>61176114
well then stop pointing out flaws at parties. people really dont care about musical qualities outside of basic melodies and the artists image anymore. let that shit go, bruh
>>61176075
>sacrificing your morality and opinions for the sake of other people
Why are you ironically shitposting this perfectly reasonable viewpoint. Why would anyone sacrifice their own values for the values of everyone else?
>>61176124
>literally billions
I doubt there are LITERALLY billions of other things to talk about
>>61176114
What kind of sperging autist are you? It IS subjective, it IS individual taste.
>>61176414
Well, in reality it is because what someone considers bad or good is subjective, the reasons why something is bad to one person are reasons it's good to another
>>61176124
I know but my mind goes blank for almost everything except music when talking to people irl :\
I've always compared music to cooking. Broadening your music taste is like chef refining his palate. There are those who like to eat shitty meat with ketchup and those who enjoy 5 star dinners from top chefs.
I only lose my shit when people call me elitist for liking something that's actually popular right now. Like someone saying you that Jamie xx or Kendrick Lamar is some elitist indie bullshit and they have never heard about them because they were busy listening 2010 pop songs and that one song from frozen soundtrack.

to be fair tho, that comment is as reddit as it gets
>>61180054
holy shit what type are they on the hampy pyramid , type minus 3?

do you live in a developing nation like canada? this sounds like a canadian problem

No one loses friends for being entry level

>>61176325
IDM not even once
>>61176024
I tell them that while taste is subjective, music is objective.
Except for the part where it isn't. At least in terms of something being bad or good.
